Standards is the ninth solo album by former Parliament-Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell. The album was released in 2011 by Scufflin' Records.{{Cite web |url=http://www.scufflinrecords.com/web/page.asp |title=Archived copy |access-date=2013-11-11 |archive-date=2013-11-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111230859/http://www.scufflinrecords.com/web/page.asp |url-status=dead }} This is a cover album, meaning none of these songs are originals written by Worrell, although he puts his signature funky twist on them, using a moog synthesizer on many of the songs. All of the songs are jazz standards.
